The 1389 Mobile Blog makes a convincing plea to get the following article far broader readership, American Thinker: Ending the Balkan Quagmire at American Thinker, and after giving the piece more than a cursory glance, I must agree. I have been greatly bothered by our U.S. government’s past and continuing mistakes in dealing with Islamic governments in Eastern Europe, and one of the primary reasons that it continues to irk me is that I have really so little knowledge of the region and of the truth surrounding those conflicts. We have been mislead, and excuse me if I have since come to my senses and decided to side with Judeo-Christians as opposed to Muslims. Julia Gorin begins her article thus:
For the past eight years, I’ve been in a lonely place politically. I don’t mean the kind of lonely that conservatives generally find themselves in. I’m talking about utter desolation, for there are just as few conservatives as liberals where I’ve been. One of the only non-Serbian Americans to do so, I watched with steady interest for the better part of a decade the clockwork predictability of the fallout from our forgotten Kosovo intervention, a bombing campaign against an emerging post-Communist democracy rooted in Judeo-Christian values–on behalf of tribalistic, blood-code-following nominal Muslims claiming oppression and no less than genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Read it all and Digg it if you feel strongly enough about the subject matter. (Digg can ban the Anvil and try to ignore my emails, but they can’t stop the entire Internet. Well, at least not yet; they’re still not an official part of the “New Caliphate Press Corps”.)

Thanks, Foehammer!
Foehammer,
This is a matter which needs public airing and investigation and awareness. There is much more going on in the Balkans which may affect the future of all of us. There are numerous persons and organizations with an interest in forcing an Islamic dominance in the area. These are leaders who are involved in the behind the scenes machination of countries and regions of the world.
I fear that we may not have heard the last of war in that area, which I’m sure you know, has a great potential to spread over. The spark for WWI was here as well as influential ties between Islam and the Nazi’s during WWII. Historic ties to the region and to the Islamic Brotherhood, which is the beginning of the modern Islamic militancy movement (since late 1800’s).
I think we were supportive of US efforts in Kosovo because we basicly had no choice. It happened so fast and with a deluge from MSM of skewed facts and coverages. We need to become aware for the next time. It may involve all of us on a personal level where it did not before.
I have done a couple of recent reports and will continue at intervals until MSM or someone heavy picks up on it. I will post 1389’s information in the near future.
I enclose a link to my latest article on the subject: myflandersfields.blogspot.com/200...-us-and-un-ties-to-islamics.html
